La aterradora experiencia que padecía la familia Hitchings inquietó no sólo a los medios de comunicación, sino también al mismo Parlamento británico.Uno de los principales investigadores paranormales de la época estaba convencido de que el fenómeno era debido a un espíritu atrapado entre dos mundos y que se había obsesionado con la residente más joven de la casa, Shirley, quien vivió una adolescencia terrorífica.

The trio cover lessons learned from the Northern Line extension to Battersea, as well as the Elizabeth Line, outlining how a new way of taxing properties which benefit from infrastructure investments could help fund extensions to the Bakerloo, DLR and Overground lines, unlocking thousands of new homes and jobs in the process.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks!Are you ready for a story that's sure to shiver your timbers? We hope so! Because Brittany is about to tell you all about the Battersea Poltergeist. In the 1950s, a family in Battersea, London began experiencing strange noises, flying objects, and unexplained fires. Yeah. That's right. More fires. This ghost (who the family named Donald) became BIG NEWS in the UK and was even discussed in Parliament.But was it real? Or the imaginings of a teenage girl? Considering this took away more than a decade of her life, we're tempted to believe her.

Stacy and Eric start the episode with some follow up from past episodes; but HOLD please, first they need to talk about Muzak, weepy dentist office music, the hunky-dancer-guy-with-a-dog movie, and fish tanks. They also workshop ideas for dentist office ceiling distractions and ponder why Oral B and not A? The episode is filled with convo bombs including Eleanor Rigby and Stitch as Elvis. Speaking of iconic performers, Eric talks about Battersea's recent show. Somehow Canadian snack talk leads to a Gilbert Godfrey impression and talk about Dil Pickles. Hear me out, it's a fun episode!

In this podcast episode in partnership with Wella Professionals, I sit down at Grid Studios London for a conversation with Lucan Salem—Director of HARI's salon group. Lucan will share the inspiring journey of HARI's, a salon business started in Sydney Street, Chelsea, London by his father and visionary Hari Salem in 1976. Lucan and his sister have expanded HARI's from three to five thriving salons across London in Chelsea, Notting Hill and Battersea. He stresses with us the importance of rigorous training and development, creating a culture of continuous learning and excellence. You'll take from this episode how HARIS's commitment to excellence has made it a premium brand—enabling its staff to excel and grow. And what about Lucan?  We cover that too as we learn how Initially, Lucan pursued a career in chemistry and business management to distinguish himself from his family's trade. However, his father's influence led him to enter the salon business—a decision that would shape Lucan's life and the future direction of HARI's. We also learn how having a strong partnership with Wella Professionals has played a crucial role in aligning HARI's values, enhancing team education, and fostering a sense of community. Two brands aligned rich in heritage—and both dedicated to helping people look their best! Stay tuned to also hear about Lucan's recent meditation retreat. He tells us why he believes that mindfulness and balance are essential for personal and professional growth. This episode provides valuable insights for hairdressers and salon owners on leadership, the importance of culture, and community engagement within the salon industry. Join us to learn how Lucan steers HARI's salons forward with a vision rooted in family values and innovation.

Some things are just meant to be. And today's guests are an example of just that. When Young's ceased its London brewing operations in 2006, it looked to signal the end of a historic site where beer has been brewed since at least 1533. The brewery would officially close on 25th September 2006 but, thanks to John Hatch, a nano-brewery was kept on-site throughout construction and development. This ensured that Ram Quarter would remain Britain's oldest continuous working brewery.And two years later in 2008 a new brewery - Sambrook's - was founded just down the road in Battersea. In the decade that would follow, Sambrook's would go from strength-to-strength accelerating its need for new premises. And in the same period, development plans for Ram Quarter continued at pace. Thankfully its owners Greenland Group had developed a vision of the quarter's industrial brewing heritage through discussions with Wandsworth Council and other key stakeholders. Come 2019 Roger Mears Architects was appointed to work with Sambrook's Brewery on its relocation to the Ram Quarter. The project provided a solution to the vacant site addressing the setting through the creation of a working Brewery linked to a Taproom and a Heritage Centre and shop. And in opening its new site, the Sambrook's team would welcome the legendary John Hatch to their team. As someone who had kept brewing going on the site, brewery founder Duncan Sambrook and the team knew that John becoming part of Sambrook's made complete and total sense for all involved. As heritage brewer at Sambrook's John complements a brewing team led by head brewer Harley Williams, an experienced leader that helped oversee the move to the company's fantastic new premises. In this episode we speak to John and Harley about life in Wandsworth, John's storied brewing background, their love and commitment to cask and how, together, they continue to help make Sambrook's a beer destination in the capital that's not to be missed.

On 10th December, 1907, angry medical students and animal rights activists were clashing over a controversial bronze statue of a brown terrier who had been dissected at University College London in 1903, revealing violations of animal experimentation regulations. The ‘brown dog' case fuelled the anti-vivisection movement, kickstarting a fundraising appeal that culminated in the erection of a memorial in Battersea - chosen as the statue's location because of its association with the famous dog home - and, ultimately, some of the worst rioting ever seen in London… In this episode, The Retrospectors consider why this seemingly innocuous drinking fountain required round-the-clock police protection; explain why there was a link between feminism and animal rights campaigners; and reveal the considerably less controversial statue that still stands in Battersea Park...

This week Anna returns to Battersea to visit the cats at Battersea's London HQ as the second in our double bill raising awareness for Wear Blue For Rescue at a time when the charity is at capacity for its cat residents.  Chatting to JoAnna Puzzo , Cat Behaviourist and Training Manager  to find out more about the growing number of abandoned cats in the Charity's care, how they're rehabilitated with behavioural and veterinary care. Particularly as Battersea  is currently at capacity with the most abandoned, gifted and stray cats ever! With a look inside their new cat facility where the residents have amazing cabins, pods or studios packed with every aspect of enrichment. Rehabilitating up to 145 cats across the Charity's three sites at any one time, JoAnna explains that she's never surprised by the range of feline personalities.  As a massive cat lover herself we discuss many of the cat traits that are still to be defined by science! In so much as cats are considered about 10,000 years behind dogs in their domestication. We talk about how cats decided to domesticate themselves! And about how the Charity matches cats to their forever homes, ensuring a match that is ‘forever' and being aware of the fact that every cat is an individual. Even to how the cats at Battersea get named and about how people can apply to become a Battersea volunteer.  #WearBlueforRescueSupport Battersea's Wear Blue for Rescue to show your love for rescue animals, everywhere. ​ Because together, we're all in, for them.

Celebrating Wear Blue for Rescue month at Battersea, Anna spent a morning at the London HQ to record a double bill! In this part one we're talking to Lucy Stratton, the Dog Team Leader at Battersea. We have the pleasure of meeting Bil,l a 10 month old mix breed found abandoned, and now looking for his forever home. Lucy reiterates Battersea's matching process, similar to a dating app that ensure that you and your prospective pooch are a match made in heaven for the best chances of a long happy life together. We discuss how every dog is an individual and how training and rehabilitation programs differ. With some dogs better suited to a more rural environment in either Battersea's Brand's Hatch or Windsor facilities. With abandonment at record levels, Lucy explains how heart breaking it is if owners are forced, through no fault of their own, but down to circumstance, to handover their dogs. The team offer emotional support without any judgement and if the owners want can receive updates.We chat about Wear Blue for Rescue and how this annual campaign goes to highlight that rescues make the best pets, especially as the selection process should ensure a perfect fit. For animals and humans alike, Battersea's Wear Blue for Rescue offers plenty of ways for everyone to get involved and show their love for rescue.

Alternatively, rally your friends, family or colleagues and raise funds your way, no matter how big or small, with every penny making a huge difference to the lives of rescue dogs and cats, everywhere.​​We discuss how adopting a rescue has so many benefits for the humans involved too - not least in the process that is so rewarding at a time when dogs are considered to be in crisis.We chat about how over Battersea's 160 years, over three million dogs have been successfully re-homed. Their aim is to continue this legacy at the recently refurbished and expanded London HQ that benefits from special rooms that mirror a home environment for de-sensitisation, lovely gardens and exercise zones planted with dog friendly herbs for extra interest. And the message that no dog is ever turned away and they can stay as long as it takes to find them the perfect forever home. Support Battersea's Wear Blue for Rescue to show your love for rescue animals, everywhere. ​ Because together, we're all in, for them.

Novelist Louis de Bernières was born into a military family, and flown out to Jordan in a bomber. At the age of eight he was sent to Grenham House in Kent, a prep school run by two headmasters, one of them a paedophile and the other a sadist. He became fluent in Latin. Then he went to Bradfield College in Berkshire where he spent a lot of time fishing, and working for a local farmer when he was supposed to be doing sports. He then spent four months failing to become an army officer at Sandhurst, when what he really wanted to do was grow his hair long and play the guitar. In disgrace, he fled to Colombia where he worked as a tutor on a ranch belonging to an Englishman who also turned out to be a paedophile. He learned to ride western style, use a lasso, and round up cattle. He came home and studied philosophy at Manchester University, financing it by working as a landscape gardener. Afterwards he worked variously as hospital porter, landscape gardener, mechanic in a bent Morris Minor garage in East London, philosophy tutor, carpenter, motorcycle messenger, and English and Drama teacher in Ipswich. He trained to be a teacher in Leicester, and won a masters with distinction at the Institute of Education in London. He worked with truants in Battersea until his third novel was published and he was earning the same by writing as he had been as a teacher.    Summary Louis de Berniere-Smart discusses his experience of boarding school and the emotional impact it had on him. He shares the harsh realities, including physical abuse, poor living conditions, and emotional bullying. Louis reflects on the emotional detachment and stoicism that he learned as a coping mechanism, as well as the difficulty of forming attachments and relationships later in life. He also discusses his unconventional path after leaving school, including his time in Colombia and his diverse range of jobs. Louis values connecting with people from all walks of life and has a deep interest in understanding others. In this conversation, Louis discusses his diverse work experiences and how they have influenced his writing. He shares stories from his time working in a garage , highlighting the importance of meaningful connections with people. Louis also talks about his experiences as a father and the impact it had on his life. He discusses the process of writing and how it allows him to explore different kinds of love and escape from self-obsession.

In s3e53 of Platemark, hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig conclude their conversation with Carol Wax, artist and author of The Mezzotint: History and Technique. Carol recently published the second edition of The Mezzotint, expanding greatly in every area from the 1990 first edition. As she tells us, there is a better break down of rocking the copper plates, and of inking and printing them, plus there are new chapters about printing papers and the history of the medium and how it fits in the greater history of prints. They talk about the early history of mezzotint, whether one can over rock a plate, what happens when you do, and about Carol's dislike of perspectival composition, all the machines and their personalities, and her dogs Cecil, the Weimaraner, and Delia, the new dog in her life. The conversation ran long, so the episode is split into two parts. Carol Wax (American, born 1953). Singer I, 1984. Mezzotint. 11 ½ x 8 in. Courtesy of the artist.

We meet living LEGEND, the English sculptor, performance artist, jewellery-maker, portraitist and all-round cultural ICON... Andrew Logan!!!!! We learn about his friendships with Zandra Rhodes, Vivienne Westwood, Derek Jarman and his recent collaboration with Stella McCartney for her Paris catwalk show.Logan (b. 1945) belongs to a unique school of English eccentrics. One of Britain's principal sculptural artists, he challenges convention, mixes media and plays with our artistic values. Since its beginnings, Logan's work has depended on the inventive use of whatever was to hand. With flair and fantasy he transformed real objects into their new and different versions. His artistic world includes fauna, flora, planets and gods. His love of travel provides the bases for several series of work.Born in Oxford in 1945, he qualified in architecture in the late 1960s and has worked across the fields of sculpture, stage design, drama, opera, parades, festivals and interior design. To him, “Art can be discovered anywhere.”Logan crosses cultures and embodies artistic fantasy in a unique and unprecedented way. His work is the art of popular poetry and metropolitan glamour. From his early fame amongst London's fashionable crowd, he has become an influential artist of international stature, with exhibitions as far afield as Los Angeles (USA), Monterrey (Mexico) and St Petersburg (Russia).Versatile and enterprising designer and sculptor, born in Witney, Oxfordshire, who graduated with a diploma in architecture from Oxford School of Architecture, 1964–70. He “experienced Flower Power” in America in 1967. Did a hologram course at Goldsmiths' College, 1982. Logan was noted for projects carried out with a showbiz flair, who to some dressed weirdly, producing camp sculptures, costumes and jewellery out of mirror and lurid plastic, but who was undeniably dedicated and persistent. He said that his aim was “to bring joy and happiness to the world”.Logan was most famous as the inventor and impresario of The Alternative Miss World, which began in 1972, the series continuing periodically at various venues. The first showing of the film The Alternative Miss World was held at the Odeon, Leicester Square, 1979, followed by the Cannes Film Festival, 1980.Follow @AndrewLoganSculptor and his official website: https://www.andrewlogan.com/Logan had his first solo show at New Art Centre, 1973. Other events in his multi-faceted career included Egypt Revisited, sound and light spectacular in a tent on Clapham Common, 1978; decorations for Zandra Rhodes' fashion show, 1980; Snow Sculpture World Championships, Finland, 1982; piece in Holographic Show, York Arts Festival, 1984; debut as a theatre designer, Wolfy, Ballet Rambert, Big Top, Battersea, 1987; retrospective, Museum of Modern Art, Oxford, 1991, with tour; Jewels Fantasy Exhibition, Victoria & Albert Exhibition, 1992; a show at Cheltenham Art Gallery, 2000–1, and watercolours at A&D Gallery, 2002, in the same year there sharing an exhibition with Duggie Fields. In addition, Norwich Gallery held Logan's Alternative Miss World Filmshow 1972 to 2002. In 1991 the Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture opened at Berriew, Powys. In 1993 the National Portrait Gallery bought two portraits. Was based at The Glasshouse, Melier Place, where he also held exhibitions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A recent YouGov poll, commissioned by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Eye Health and Visual Impairment, has found that many employers do not have inclusive employment practices. This may not come as a surprise to many blind and partially sighted people who have experienced employment or are seeking employment and so we assess what needs to happen in order to dispel the persistent misconceptions and to ensure more employment opportunities for visually impaired people.To help us tackle this decade-long problem, we turned to Marsha De Cordova who is MP for Battersea and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Eye Health and Visual Impairment that commissioned the poll. Simon Hill is visually impaired and he describes the technological and attitudinal barriers he has faced. Martin O'Kane is the technology and employment lead for the RNIB and Eleanor Southwood is the Vision Foundation's Director of Social Impact.To submit your evidence to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Eye Health and Visual Impairment's inquiry, email: contact@eyehealthviappg.org.uk or call Marsha De Cordova's office to request assistance in submitting oral evidence: 0207 219 0209Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Mica Nepomuceno Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper.

The 16:9 PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY SCREENFEED – DIGITAL SIGNAGE CONTENT The UK startup PassageWay operates with the interesting mission of using technology that nudges people to make well-informed and more sustainable decisions about how they get from A to B. That's done by thinking through and developing the presentation layer for Real-Time Passenger Information content that's then run on digital signs, most notably for the bus systems around the city of London. PassageWay's business model is - in simple terms - taking the rich, real-time data available for routes and stops and making it presentable and digestible for transport authorities, like Transport For London, which pays the start-up to do so. The logical notion is that the more that good, real-time information is made available to people, the more the transport services will be used. While London Underground stations are well-equipped with information and the services are pretty predictable, there's not as much available to the millions who use less-predictable surface transport services like the iconic double-decker red buses. I had a good chat about all this recently with PassageWay co-founder Chris Johns. Subscribe from wherever you pick up new podcasts. TRANSCRIPT Chris, thank you for joining me. Can you tell me what PassageWay is all about?  Chris Johns: Thanks so much for inviting us to your podcast today. PassageWay is all about generating demand for public transport by leveraging real-time information. We do this by putting it onto digital signs that are displayed on host-supplied screens and typically these screens only require a modern browser to display the digital sign.  You made a point of saying the host supplied. There's been a history through the years of companies who've done things like put in the infrastructure, the screens, and so on and then run content on them with the idea that content would be Interrupted so to speak by advertising. You're not going down that path.  Chris Johns: No, we're not. Typically those sorts of plays are similar to JC Decaux or Clear Channel who have long had this relationship with transport authorities whereby they will fund the deployment of bus shelters in return for an ad revenue share. We supply transport for London with digital signs that are displayed at bus shelters but also within their other infrastructure like bus stations. But really we're more citywide about putting digital signs into places such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, offices, and such in order to generate demand from the sort of non-traditional locations and encouraging the people within those locations to consider public transport. So this doesn't sound like a traditional business, you said, this is about generating demand to use public transport services and so on versus, more traditionally, this is about making money somehow or other.  Chris Johns: Yeah. I think that's the difference, a lot of those traditional plays actually put the real-time information secondary to their primary objective which is to earn revenue from the display of ads. And to my mind, that means a poor customer experience and the poor customer experience means reduced demand. If you think about traditional bus shelters, they are actually incredibly complex for many people trying to navigate the public transport information. If you're coming to London, for example, trying to find out which is the right bus? Is it going to go to your preferred stop? How long is it going to take? Is there any disruption information? If you don't have it, it will make you want to go and choose a different mode of transport. So, you probably take a taxi or you may end up using your own car, for example. Actually what we're trying to do is to show people that public transport is really easy to use. It's really accessible. It can get you from A to B pretty fast. And if you're aware of the onward travel information from the stop you're trying to get to, then actually, you can make the whole journey much easier and less stressful, for many people. So this almost seems like a community initiative but there is a business model behind this, right?  Chris Johns: Yeah, there is. The business model is pretty straightforward, to be honest. We are paid by the transport authority or their contract partners and our job is to provide these digital signs and the digital signs generate demand. So in a different way of thinking, you might consider the real time information as being the best form of advertising for public transport. Certainly better than a static advert, in my opinion, anyway.  Your company's efforts are to aggregate the data, make sure it's handled accurately and always up to date, and so on. Why would transport for London not do that themselves?  Chris Johns: Yeah, they do. Transport for London is the world's largest integrated transport network and they have the global leading data strategy. And they're famed the world over for their open API strategy. That means we can access their data and we pretty much have unfettered use of that data. And so do many other developers as well and we can Be sure that the data we've got is true and accurate. What we do is that we take that information and we plot it around a particular location and we bring it together with a legible London-style wayfinding map, where we plot the access points onto it and then we bring it all together into a sort of nice looking digital sign that's easy to understand and act upon.  So we're not generating data or we're not modifying data, all we're doing is bringing data together into an easy-to-understand format.  So you're doing the presentation layer that in theory, transport for London could do themselves but you're good at it. it's not what they want to focus on. So they're happy to work with you to do that part of it.  Chris Johns: That's right. Yeah. We are a supplier to TFL and they use lots of other different tech suppliers whether it's to build their award winning TFL go app or to build bus shelters whatever it may be. They have lots of different suppliers bringing their individual skill sets into play and that's basically what we do. But I think that one of the things that we do bring to the party because we're a tech startup is innovation and the ability to pivot quickly and come up with sort of entrepreneurial new ideas that we can bring into play and throw them out to TFL and say, listen, what do you think about this? And so we can move quite quickly.  Did you have to go to them to sell into this or is your company kind of a result of being in discussions with them and starting the company because this opportunity existed? Chris Johns: It's a mix between the two actually. So TFL actually issued a tender some time ago that we want to produce the platform and we've taken it on from there and given it a life of its own and extended the service beyond London as well. So working with other transport authorities and other partners outside of London.  So this is audio, so it makes it a little difficult to visualize things. But can you give me some sense of how this manifests itself within the transport system? And then in public and private buildings.  Chris Johns: Okay. I'll give you a couple of examples. For example, in every bus station across London, there are digital totems. And those digital totems are a bit like an airport or a train station where you've got a central totem and it shows all the services where they're going and whereabouts within the bus station they're leaving from and if there's any disruptions. So we look after all of those for London. Another example would be smart bus shelters, whereby you could have a large format digital screen with detailed route maps for each of the services that are running via that bus shelter with real time information on all those routes plotted not on a fixed JPEG of a route but actually plotted live onto a legible London style map. With onward time estimation to reach all the onward stops, onward travel information such as the tube status, any disruption notifications and more so that people can quite easily contextualize their journey and see if it's going to be running smoothly all the way through. Another example, could be at a bus stop itself. So across London, there are about 18,000 bus stops and only about 2000 bus shelters. So only about 2000 of these locations have any real time information. So what we can do for those ones is put in QR codes and customers can scan the QR codes and open up a real time digital sign on their personal device with no registration, no login, no heavy download. It's just a purely web based solution that shows all the upcoming departures for that particular stop with detailed route information, onward stop information et cetera and then links to download the official apps. So it's like an interstitial page where it's easy for everyone to access. Hopefully you're going to convert more people into downloading the official apps. Now the official app is the TFL official app or yours?  Chris Johns: No, we don't do apps. I'm afraid. One of the points about what we're doing is about trying to make everything as open and as accessible as possible. So there is no registration, there's no login, there's no download. All you need Is a modern web browser and you can access the information. We don't ask anything from the customers. We don't track them. We don't do anything really about that.  Yeah. That's one of the problems when you go to an unfamiliar city and you decide I'm going to use their transport system. You go to the app store to find the app for the mass transport system in that city. And there's five or six of them and you don't know which one is official or which one's riddled with ads or not updated or God knows what. Chris Johns: Yeah. In London, I can't really speak for other cities because our primary focus is London, that's our area of expertise. But there are hundreds of thousands of people who are digitally excluded. People who don't have smartphones at all and then there is a whole another segment that are extremely low digital users and I think in London, there's about 2 million of those, according to a Lloyd's report. You've got about 2.5 million people that are not going to be using smartphones or not downloading apps and you've got to provide real time information to those people because those are also a core audience for the transport authority because they tend to be looking at the demographic. They match perfectly the sort of TFL bus user type. But at the moment they're somewhat excluded from the service or the latest developments of promoting those services.  Is the focus more as a result on road transport, buses and so on, as opposed to the London underground? Because the underground has maps. It's got covered areas and everything else. It's easier to convey information.  Chris Johns: That's right. Like train stations and tubes, they're fairly straightforward. You go onto the platform, you take a train going one way or the other way or if you go to a train station, it's all linear. But if you're taking buses or you want to go get a bicycle, they're within the built environment itself. And they could be going pretty much any direction. And you really need to know where the best location is for you to find your particular service and then how long you're going to wait and if there's any problems with that particular service. Also the other thing is that the tube services are linear again. They're always getting the district line, for example and are always going to go to those particular routes, one way or the other. They might stop slightly earlier but generally, they're always going to follow that same path. And if you wait one minute, then the next one's coming along for two or three minutes. So what we do is that we just show on the tube status. We show if there's any problems on any particular line. And then we say all of the lines are running fine, which is the sort of TFL standard approach to displaying the statements  Yeah. This year I've spent a couple of weeks in London, doing interviews and then I was there semi holidaying as well and I was struck by the amount of real time information that you could get on. I was taking the Elizabeth line more than anything else and it was terrific in terms of telling me, I definitely don't want to go on the Circle line right now. Chris Johns: Yes. the Northern line.  The really old ones. Chris Johns: Yeah, some of them are better than others, to be honest. Also you've got to pick the right one. It's freezing in London at the moment and some of them have heating and some of them don't. Like in the summer, some of them have air con and some of them don't as well. We don't flag that as much. I couldn't tell you offhand which ones are which. Toko on here is stifling.  Chris Johns: Yeah. It could be useful information to many people.   What you're doing is a little reminiscent of a US company called TransitScreen.  Chris Johns: Yeah, I know. I've heard of TransitScreen. Yeah. They would sell a service into a building and they would also layer in things like the availability of Rideshare, Dockless bikes. I'm not sure what their status is right now but probably scooters as well. Do you do any of that? Chris Johns: Not at the moment. It is something that we are quite interested in. But we are dependent on the data sources that are available to us. And obviously we are primarily funded by TFL as well. Our modus operandi is to really promote TFL services. When we've looked at it before there are Lime and Forest e-bikes for example, across London. But they don't actually have an open API that we can access. The other thing I think separates us from the transit screen service, I think they've rebranded actually now. But I think they don't tend to have maps or contextual maps on their screens. They tend to be very linear in terms of saying information is available on this particular site type of service at this particular place. And that it's 500 meters where you have to go and work out which direction it is, whereas in London, we've got what's called the legible London wayfinding scheme. So across London, you find all these Totems which are just flat totems, they're not real time information. But they've got localized maps with all the local highlights on it. So, there's a sort of native way of expecting maps and how they should appear to people as they're moving through the built environment that we've tried to replicate. Ultimately, what we'd like to do is to take over those totems and convert them from being static information locations to being real time digital totems with wayfinding public transport information and other information as well.  I suspect the barriers, there are steady advances in e-paper. As that gets better versus using LCD or things like that require a lot of energy to be visible in daylight.  Chris Johns: Yeah. I think you hit the nail on the head there or bleakly by saying, really the issue is cost and technology. There are hundreds of legible London totems around London. Not all of them have power nearby and the cost to convert each and every one of them would be very substantial but if we can bring in as technology advances and things become cheaper, solar power and other sort of lower energy burn options come into play then that's where we're hoping that there's an opportunity. So, I think I saw you guys have your offices or technical location and the Battersea area. If the Battersea power station which is now a kind of a multi use mall and other things, wanted to put your content on a large screen in their main access areas, would they need to do what's involved? Chris Johns: It's really quite straightforward. They just need to install a screen of any particular size, it can be small or super large. We put a 75 inch screen into an office complex, Paternoster Square, just a week or so ago. But you can go for pretty much any size screen. The larger ones tend to be ethernet connected rather than Wi Fi connected. As long as that screen has browser capability then we can deploy a digital sign onto it. And it will be suitable for displaying both small scale and large scale. So you could have it within a stadium. If you've been to the power station, they've got the huge sort of warehouse-y style engine rooms there which are now full of shops but you could put one at the end of one of those engine rooms and it would look fantastic.  Yeah. I was there three-four months ago. It's a great reworking of that building. Outside they could really use wayfinding but that's somebody else's problem.  Chris Johns: Yeah. Also there's boats there as well. So Uber has taken over the boats in London. So, unfortunately they no longer provide data onto the TFL data feed. And so we're trying to work with them to get data from them. But at the moment, they're not included within the TFL API feed. I'm understanding this correctly, there's a URL per geo-specific site.  Chris Johns: That's right.  And if it was a digital sign in a building that was also showing, if we're using the Battersea Power Station as an example, also showing sales promotions for some of the retail tenants, could your information be scheduled in or does it need to be on there full time? Chris Johns: No, it doesn't need to be full-time. Obviously, we're very aware that digital screens need to pay for themselves and often that's through advertising. Our content can be part of a playlist and run for 15-20 seconds every 40 seconds or whatever the host decides is best. So, we're working on another project at the moment which is actually something very similar to that, whereby the content will rotate with other content about walking routes, heritage and other information that takes to a particular place. Because obviously, public transport information is not the only thing that's of interest to people as they're moving through the built environment. But it's one of the time sensitive things that is important to them.  Because it's web based information, is it responsive? Chris Johns: Yeah, We do smartphone friendly signs as well but usually they're going to be QR code based. So, someone will scan a QR code and then it will open up a smartphone or other personal device friendly version. Some of the other signs that we've designed particularly for larger format digital signage screens. So what I've seen examples of was a portrait mode screen but you could do a landscape screen, no problem.  Chris Johns: Oh yeah. We've got loads of them. It's roughly 50-50 at the moment in terms of deployment between landscape and portrait. I don't really have a preference. I think they look good. I think the one we put in last week into Paternoster Square was a portrait and I think it looks really quite nice in portrait style.  And have you done the design and everything to mirror or parrot the transport for London colors and so on? Chris Johns: We've built it to meet the TFL brand guidelines. So that was very important. Obviously, because we're paid by TFL and the map is styled to look as close as possible to the legible London guidelines but without copying it. We use a service called Mapbox to do that which allows us to play with the layers and the design of the layers on the maps very efficiently. And we actually did a project for Melbourne as well, Transport for Victoria in Australia where we came up with a similar whole range of concepts for Melbourne and again using their sort of legible Melbourne guidelines or Transport for Victoria guidelines with their branding and their mapping as well. So is there a consulting wing to what you do as well?  Chris Johns: Basically we can provide just consulting but really what we're hoping to do is to build long term relationships with transport authorities where we can deploy the platform, make the signs available across their estate and out to their community. And if that option is available to us then we'll do the consulting bundled into a longer term agreement with them.  But it's not fundamental to your offer?  Chris Johns: No. No, not at all.  My next question is, are you working outside of London? So you're in Australia. Are you elsewhere as well? Chris Johns: So, we're one of the winners of a global innovation tender for Transport for Victoria and we developed a whole range of concepts for them. Unfortunately, their data wasn't quite a state as yet to enable the concepts to be deployed. So that one very much watches this space. We've also had discussions with others, both, in Europe and also in North America as well. We're quite keen on working internationally. I think on the international side, we're much better when we work with a bigger technology partner. So, usually with transport authority tenders, they put them out there and there's big organizations which pitch for them. We're typically too small to pitch for them but we can go in with those larger organizations and bring that element of innovation and entrepreneurialism and some design to give them an extra edge in their tender over and above everyone else. So you might be going with an IBM or somebody like that?  Chris Johns: Yeah. The big one in America is VIX Technology and they're a nice bunch of guys. But we've also partnered previously with Trapeze which is in the UK. And also, there's a one in the UK who we work with very well called True Form Engineering as well. We've done stuff with them both in London and outside of London as well.  You mentioned at the start that you're working with the London authority which has a world reputation for its data API and everything else. And you also mentioned that Melbourne isn't quite at the same level. Is that a big challenge when you look at other jurisdictions? Chris Johns: Yeah, totally. Basically, the world is changing and it's changing very rapidly. The data is becoming less of a problem. But one of the problems that remains is the cost of data which means that actually using our service may be prohibitive to smaller towns or organizations outside of London. With the CFL API, we have free Access to that but if it was outside of London, for example, in Bristol, then we would have to partner with a third party data provider. And there are a small number of those that can provide that service. But it's not free and their costs are extensive. And then we have to layer our costs on top of that and it may be that for that transport authority which they look at that and say, we can't do that sort of cost at the moment. Indeed somewhere Bristol actually used to have their own API and then took it offline. Because they said, we can't justify the cost of maintaining this open API strategy which to my mind is insane because surely the biggest way of generating demand for public transport authority is telling people what services there are there. And you can only do that if you've got real time information. So if you suddenly say to all the developers and even your own services, we're not going to have an API anymore. It just means that you're going to have a natural impact on demand.  I don't know if this is a simple answer or way too involved to even get into but I'm curious if I'm a transport authority, let's say in Kansas city, Missouri, Winnipeg, Manitoba, or Munich, Germany. Do you need the shape and structure of data to make this workable?  Chris Johns: It's what we call a JSON API and then documentation around it and we'll take it from there. So, most of the APIs follow a common standard these days and we can work with any of them, really. We've not done any multi-language so digital sign designs as yet. So we do need to consider the elements of user experience for trying to work in something like Japanese, for example, would be challenging for us at the moment because we'd have to consider how they interpret information which is different to how we might interpret information in the UK. But somewhere like Missouri and Munich would be fairly straightforward for us.  Okay. So if people want to know more about your organization, where do they find you?  Chris Johns: So the best thing to do is to look at our website, which is at passage-way.com, or connect with me on LinkedIn. I'm quite chatty on LinkedIn, and I post a fair amount, and also the company is on LinkedIn as well. That's how I found you.  Chris Johns: Yeah, and the more the merrier, really.  All right. Chris, thank you very much for spending some time with me.  Chris Johns: Thank you. Have a great day.

Daniel Schappert lernte in einem Urlaub auf Mauritius bei einem Freund die Arbeit als Braumeister von ihrer schönsten Seite kennen. Fasziniert vom Strandfeeling war der Lebensplan gemacht, und er beendete sein Studium nach Praktika in Berlin und Kopenhagen mitten in der Pandemie. Kurz ausgebremst, fand sich dann doch recht schnell der Job als Headbrewer bei Mondo Brewing in London. Dort zeichnet er für eine große Palette verschiedenster Biere verantwortlich, in und außerhalb des Reinheitsgebotes, teils mit sehr experimentellen, wegweisenden Neuentwicklungen aller Ingedienzien. Wir haben ihn vor Ort in seiner Brauerei besucht und mit ihm eine kleine Reise durch sein Leben und seine Biere gemacht…

Before January 1956, the daily lives of the Hitchings family would have struggled to have been considered remarkable. That year would mark the beginning of one of the most perplexing paranormal cases in London's history. It would seemingly begin with the discovery of a mysterious key. The father of the family, Wally Hitchings, would try the key in every lock in their terraced house on Wycliffe Road. The key didn't fit any of the doors or cabinets but, unbeknownst to the Hitchings family, it may have been what unlocked the flood of supernatural events that would plague their home for years to come. The ghostly activity that would follow, centered around the 15 year old daughter, Shirley. A mischievous spirit would come to reside within the HItchings family home and, as some paranormal researchers have concluded, used Shirley as a conduit to communicate with the living.

When a strange silver key appeared at No. 63 Wycliffe Road, Shirley Hitchings and her family had no idea what was in store for them. It wasn't long before ghost hunter Harold Chibbett was living with the family, trying desperately to capture evidence of the legendary Battersea Poltergeist Hosted on Acast.
